............ TIIE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. We take the following from the Melbourne Argus of Aug. 15:-- Of O ur latest news o f the war is that there is a possibility P e ace, but th ere i s li t tl e to j ust if y t h e f ormat i on of any definite opinion on the subject. The past month has added but • little to the narrative of events which will in the end fcllll one of the mast important epochs in the history of Sew Zealand. The Constance, which left Auckland for 4 . 3 ' cl heY on July 14, b roug ht us wor d t h at t h ere were no !hrther movements by the rebels, who were said to be suffer. og from w an t o f food. Wi Kingi and party were reported tbe in th e Taranaki district, and the garrison there was o n bled. A Lum b er o f t h e Wai k atos were endeavouring stir up the Hawke's-bay natives to join the King party, azd party of Arawa chiefs v i s it e d th e Gove r no r a t 4 4 1 , 46 a 14 ml, 250 Poverty-bay natives were reported as out t 3 join the rebels. The only change in our move tlelate was the abandonment of Meremere redoubt, and the xernovsl of a port i on of the artillery to Sydney. A few days A af ter th e receipt of the above news, the Xanthe brought leand pap ers d own t o t h e 25th July. From them we ar •d nt that th e re b el natives wire disheartened—without cl°tl ling, tobac co , an d a l mos t w ith ou t f oo d ; yet t h ere was I 'o talk of surrender. They were intensely suspicious of the C olonial G overnment ' s intentions ; and hoped after all that 1 1 , 1 e Imperi a l G overnment would step in and screen them. he Ileratts correspondent wrote that no one believed the ministry would abate one jot of their plans for the permanent n te biugati on of t h e country. No one had any confidence in kir.,..vernor Grey, and he might interpose difficulties, but it Was believed, if he should do so, that the Ministry would in 818t °la an immediate summon s o f P ar li amen t. Th e na ti ves ?the north were very quiet, but some think that might arise 11.,,,°t0 no one sayi ng an ythi ng t o th em a b out o b ey i ng t h e l aw. The work of military settlement was going on slowly but ate4d ilY. There was but scanty intelligence of the rebels. William King and his party had seceded from the Manio- Poto tribe, and gone towards Taranaki ; but where Rewi and the Manip o t os were no ono k new . It was p oss ibl e th a t they had saved some corn and potatoes, and gone to plant 7 Bove in the distant fastnesses. If not, the war can ha r dly e expected to last many months longer. It was rumoured th at on Gen. Galloway's visit to Maungatutori the militia ref used to turn out on parade, on account of the badness and i nsufficiency of their rations, and the ringleaders were arres ted and confined. Our last news, down to the Ist of ‘4,hgust is far more cheering. We were by that informed th at 150 leading men of the rebels had already signed a de claration of allegiance. A great change of feeling was evi dent among them, and the crisis being supposed to have " s ki, signs of peace were perceptible, Governor Grey "d Gen. Cameron had sailed for Tauranga, to receive the formal submission of the east coast natives ; and it is stated that R'm. Thompson was desirous of surrendering, if ho first have a short ' korero' with his Excellency the I r y ernor, to satisfy his mind up n a few points which have been troubling him for some time. He is said to have quite recovered from the serious illness from which he has been t alla ering for so me ti me pa s t, an d now to be thoroughly alive ° the advisability of submitting to the Queen's authority, 13t ellided ho can do this with good grace, and make his sub r.Bsion pass over with eclat before a real live Governor. I °ln the camp up the Waikato no news has come to hand 4 -Le presence of r e b e ls in their vicinity having been -13 ` ie ed ; and it may be reasonably expected that the Maorios e t remaining in th e se di s tricts are too busy attending to their cultivation to give our troops much occupation at 14 ° 8 ent,'P CONEY MARKET AND COMMZILCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. t The capital afloat in the Money Market has re ei!ed a very large addition from the dividends, W hich are n ow i n course o f di s t r ib u ti on . Th e l arge i Iler ease that has taken place is not a matter of w onder, if the high rates of interest paid for tem porary l oans by disccuaters are taken into conside r4llou. Bankers have therefore, for the moment, 11 °re money than they can fully employ, and they 447 e consequently shown more disposition to loan °ut on short dated paper than they did yesterday 113 d the day before. The inquiry, in fact, has not te Pt pace with the increased supply, and best com. ! e rcial bills can therefore be negotiated at the 'Etak minimum of 9 per cent. Daring the last few days there has been very it tle animation in the foreign and colonial produce li fttitets. The operations in tea have been deferred ! ti ll' the public sales, which commence this day. 11 gar has bc ea in moderate request at barely pre. 3?s prices, w hil e co ff ee h as realised full r a t es . l ee, cocoa, fruit, and spices have remained with qit chang e in value; and tallow, for both present In d forward delivery, has declined about 6d. per A further sum of £30,000 in gold was taken oto the Bank yesterday. Two additional mercantile failures have been ePclt ted. Messrs. Monninger and Denninghoff, ()roraission merchants, chiefly associated with the l etroleum an d o il tra d es, h ave suspen d e d p a yment, "ilia liabilities supposed to reach £lOO,OOO. Messrs l ci ral Euciao, and Co., engaged in the Spanish ' l " l ess have also succumbed. Their liabilities are tared A to amount to £60,000. In neither case has estimate of the assets been arrived at. At the meeting of the Commercial Banking Com of Sydney, on the 27th of July, the available 411c e was stated at £32,664, and a dividend and bonus c 'ra decl ared equal to 8} per cent, for t h e h a lf -year, leav ag £ 1 ,333 to be added to reserve, and £4,131 to be carried s f r , a rcl.

It was unanimously : so lved to wind up the estate under inspection, the meet expresing their confidence in Mr Croskey, and his rfn l ! t Y, With the assistance of the inspectors, to bring his Ira to a success f u l i ssue. Th e t o t a l li a bilities, secured L ' unsecured, appear to be about £295,000, of which : 7 t oo o are expected to rank against the estate ; the assets `re ,: e hmated at £35,501 2s.

ADJOURNED INQUEST THIS DAY. This morning Mr Carttar, one of the coroners for Kent, es nmed the inquest on the bodies of George Rayner, John York, and Thomas Hubbard, three of the persons who were killed in the explosion of the powder magazines at Erith. The inquiry was held in Avenue Hall, and there were a considerable number of persons present. It will be remembered that the inquiry on the last occa sion broke off on the production of a letter, found three miles off, where it had been blown at the time of the explosion. A number of witnesses were called to speak to the handwriting as that of the deceased man Rayner, but Mr Monk, the manager of the works of the Messrs. Hall, said he knew nothing of the letter in question. The inquiry was proceeding when we went to press. MARKETS—This Day. HAY MARKETS.

It appears positive that the company suffered very severely by one of the failures de clared on Tuesday last in London, but I am informed from the best authority that up to the present time it has not ceased to meet its enagements.

The last day's running came off yesterday, and, consider ing that the card presented no feature of much interest, the attendance was large. The business commenced with a selling race, won by M. Voisin's Mlle. Duchesnois, who was bought in by her owner for 4,505 fr., being 3,0001 r. over the price at which she could be claimed, As the stakes only amounted to 2,300 fr., M. Voisin loses 700 fr. through his mare winning. This was the more remarkable that he effected an elm at similar transaction on Sunday last, when the same horse won the Prix de la Cascade. The Prix des Reservoirs and Prix des Tribunes each produced good fields, and both fell to the lot of outsiders, In the former an unfortunate ac cident occurred to Arthur Watkins, who was riding the Duke de Morny's Dinorah. On coming down the hill she fell, and, rolling over, gave her jockey a severe blow on the neck with her hoof. The Prix de la Foret, for two and three year-old horses, followed ; only one of the latter age started, and having to give 32 pounds for a year, merely succeeded in obtaining a third place. The day's running terminated with the Prix de Consolation, which was looked upon as a certainty for M.

BOAT RACE AT PUTNEY. A scullers' race, which excited no small amount of inte rest, was rowed yesterday from Putney to Hammersmith, for £2O, and although the stake was comparatively small, the very name of one of the competitors was sufficient t 3 draw together a vast concourse of spectators. The men were William Lane, a watermae, of Westminster, who WO never figured in anything grand before, and Precloriok Lett, also a waterman, of Lambeth, but who has fora series of both are about lOst 121 b, and years past been held as a fine sculler for his age, and has won Doggett's Coat and Badge, Morris' Coat and Badge, Captain Ayres, ac companiedand money prizes to a great extent.. Both the men are old Aqueduct to Hammer smith-bridgestagers at the business. Lane le fifty-two years of age, yand she conveyed s and tan d Lett Mt n f . o r t y The..si 1 a u t n n te e e y r, A Fred. Kelley, the referee ; F. Stevenson, umpire for Lane ; and G. Drewett for Lett. fhe ex-champion, H. Kelley, with a good company, and T. Pocock showed up Lane and Lett respectively, Lane having trained at Kelley's and Lett at home. Lett won the station, and after one false start . and a lot of fiddling they the race fr.:m.ll'pol got off, Lett, upon whom the betting was 2 to 1 and 7 to 4, making the rowing at so terrific. a pace that he was clear in a hundred yards, and at Simmonds's two lengths ahead. From here to the point Lane crept up, and rowing very well and steadily was level at Craven. L et t did his utmost, but he had now no more in him, and at the Crab Tree things were reversed, and Lane led by more than a clear length. Lett gave him no rest over the water, and was over him at the soap-works; but as each seemed to strain every nerve and muscle, it was evident that they were too near home for Lett to get up, and he was beaten at Ham mersraith by only half a length.

APPLICATION FOR A PROTECTION ORDER. -A LONG SEPARATION.—Mrs Scrivener, a respectable woman, about 30 years of age, applied for a protection order.

CONVICTION OF A RIVER THlEF.—Charles Lovell, a fellow of youthful appearance, was brought before Mr Par tridge charged with committing two robberies on the river Thames. The prisoner was detected by the crew of a Thames police galley, on the river off Wapping, in a boat, the property of the Trinity House Corporation. He had 6 lbs of raw coffee in his possession, and it is believed it was stolen from a barge containing bags of coffee a short distance from the place where be was found. He had removed the boatfrom the roadstead, where it was moored, and it was recognised as the property of the Trinity House Corporation by Mr Tre maine, a ruler in the ballast office under the control of the Corporation. John Pitman, of the Thames Police, said the prisoner had been convicted of a robbery on the river at the Southwark Police-court. Mr Partridge said he should convict the prisoner of un lawful possession of the coffee, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour in each case, which would be four months' imprisonment in all, as the sentences would be consecutive, WESTMINSTER, SINGULAR APPLICATION.—A. very respectable-looking middle aged man applied to kir Arnold this morning to know whether he could not obtain redress under the fol lowing circumstances : He stated that between three and four o'clock this morn ing he went to Lambeth-bridge, and found he could not get on to it in consequence of the carriage -road gate being secured and the foot turnstile being fixed. Applicant also tonnd the toll-house closed, and tapped at the window three or four times to arouse the collector, who was asleep. After waiting two or three moments until he woke up the collector refused to let him go over the bridge. Mr Arnold—What did you do P Applicant—l walked round to where I was going over Westminster-bridge, which was a great deal further, and much inconvenience to me. I have been in the habit for nearly two years of going over Lambeth-bridge at the same early hour every morning, and I think that the man had no rigfit to refuse me. That the bridge is open day and night for the public, or at any rate ought to be. Mr Arnold—Why did the toll collector refuse to let you go over the bridge ? Applicant—He was annoyed, I suppose, at my waking him out of his sleep. Mr Arnold—Did you offer payment of the toll ? Applicant—l did. Mr Arnold—Why did he refuse to take it ? Applicant—Because he was offended. I offered him sixpence, but he refused to take it or give me change. He said his toll was a halfpenny, and unless I paid him on; I should not go over the bridge. Mr Arnold—Then he refused the tender of sixpence for the toll. Applicant—He did, and I had no other money. I have often had change there before, and should think he ought to have had change this time. • Mr Arnold—He might have given you change had he pleased, but he was not bound. Sixpence is a legal tender for sixpence, but not for a halfpenny, and he, therefore, was at liberty to refuse. He is not bound to find change, SWIMMING. THE ILEX SWIMMING CLUB.

E. Petley, from Marseilles-, Toulon, and some of the ports of Sicily. Hie Grace is accompanied by Rear-Admiral Drummond, Rear-Admiral Robinson, Mr Childers, his pri vate secretary; Capt. Hall, Mr Alfred Buckley, and Capt. Hore, naval aide-de-camp to the embassy at Paris. Immedi ately on the yacht making her appemance between the two forts at the mouth of the Grand Harbour salutes were fired from the town and the flagship of the commander-in-chief, and the principal ships of the fleet In port, consisting of the Marlborough, 131, flagship of Vice-Admiral Smart; 'Re venge, 73, flagship of Rear-Admiral Yelverton ; Gibraltar, 81, Meeanee, 60, Orlando, 46, Magicienno, 16, Chanticleer, 17, and the ironclads Royal Oak, 95, and Resistance,. 18. A serious accident unfortunately occurred on board the Marlborough, one of the men having fallen from aloft. Mr Alen, Master-Attendant of Malta dockyard, piloted the Enchantress into harbour, and she was admit ted to pratiquo Ly Capt. Hoseason, R.N., Superintendent of the port. No sooner had she taken up her moorings than Vice-Admiral Smart, Rear-Admirals Yelverton and Austin, and the captains and commanders of the flag re paired on board to pay their respects to the Duke of Somer set, as First Lord of the Admiralty. Major Brett, aide-de camp and private secretary to the Governor, also waited on him on the part of his Excellency Sir Gaspard Lo Mar chant, who late on the following day paid a visit to their lordships. The Duke and party, accompanied by Admiral Smart, yesterday inspected most of the ships of the fleet, and expressed the highest satisfaction with their efficient and orderly condition. They also paid a visit of inspection in company with the chief naval authorities, to the creeks and bays of the great harbour, paying especial attention to the various sites pointed out by different authorities as best adapted for the wants and requirements of a large naval dock. In the evening they accepted the Governor's invita tion to dine at the palace, where they were received by a guard of honour. Their Lordships will land officially to-day at half-past 2 o'clock, when there will bo the usual salutes, guards of honour, &c. Before taking their departure on Sa turday the local chamber of commerce and the elected mem bers of Council intend to wait on the Lorda Commissioners to make known their views regarding the proposed docks, in so far as these may affect mercantile and local interests. Her Majesty's gunboat Surprise, 4, left port on Monday for Beyrout to provision the Cossack.

A public meeting of inhabitants of Chatham, convened by the High Constable in accordance with a numerously signed requisition, was held yesterday for the purpose of taking into consideration the great danger experienced by the inhabitants of that town and the adjoining city of Ro chester from the close proximity of the large gunpowder magazines and stores at Upnor Castle, and urging upon the proper authorities th 9 necessity of taking the necessary steps for protecting the lives and property of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. It was elicited that the powder stores at Chatham are among the largest in the country. So vest is the quantity at present in store that if an explosion were to occur it would infallibly destroy the dockyards and naval establishments at Chatham and Sheerness, and spread ruin and devastation in both places. Only some short time since the Upnor magazine had a narrow escape of beir g destroyed, a fire having been discovered in one part of the establish.. meat, and this after &owe difficulty was extinguished, It was ultituateiy resolved to present a memorial to the Go vernment to adopt such measures as might be deemed necessary to prevent the calamitous results of an explosion at the magazines. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Hon. A. D. S. Denison, to the Victoria and Albert—Lieut. 11. T. F, Campbell, to the Hector— Lieut. F. L.
